TrEASVEY DErARTMEXT, 

December 28, 1827. 

Sir : In obedience to tlie resolution of tlic House of Representatives, 
of the 26tli of February last, referring to this Department the memo- 
rial of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, claiming allowance 
and j)ay for advances of money and supplies furnislied. during llic late 
war, in defence of tiiat city and the country adjacent. I have the iionor 
to transmit, herewith, a letter from the Third Auditor, dated ;he 27th 
of March, accompanied by an explanatory statement, marked A. 
This statement particularly sets forth the items, constituting, in the 
wliole, the sum of fifteen thousand one hundred and iiftj -nine dollars 
nine cents, heretofore suspended or disallowed on the setllement of the 
above claim under the direction of the Secretary of War, with the ,' ■i' 
i-easons for such disallowance or suspen-sion. Tlie claim rests upon 
services highly meritorious, the good effects of which were felt by the 
nation ; and a large portion of tlie rejected items appears to lia\ e been 
thrown out, not from any objection to their equity, but from the fixed 
rules and limited powers under which the Executive and accounting 
officers are obliged to act in the settlement of the public accounts. 
From tliese rules they ditl not feel at liberty to swerve, even in such 
a case as the present. The want of vouchers formed the objection 
upon which the disallowance of other items rested : all which is fully- 
explained in the document above mentioned. The efforts of tiie me- 
morialists were identified with the common cause of the country at a 
season of difficulty and peril, and it follows, from the letter and state- 
ment of the Third Auditor, that they cannot receive adequate indemni- 
fication for tlie expenditures which those efforts involved, (and they 
ask notliing beyond indemnification) but through Congress. 

Returning the papers which accompanied the resolution of the 
House, 

I have the honor to remain, 
With great respect. 

Your obedient servant, 

RICHARD RUSH. 
To the Hon. the Speaker of the 

House of Representatives. 



[Doc. No. 39.3 



To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States : 

The memorial of the Major and City Council of Baltimore, 
Respectfully REruESENTs : 

That, some years ago, your memorialists preferred a claim against 
the United States for a large sum of money expended by them in the 
defence of tlicir country, in the late war with Great Britain, and they 
exhibited various documents, which are now filed in the office of the 
Third Auditor, showing tliat tliey were compelled to borrow, for that 
purpose, and did borrow and pay the rcgulai- bank interest until 1818, 
when the debt was funded in city six per cent, stock, the sum of 
seventy-five thousand dollars. (S 75,000,) which they expended, over 
and above tlie voluntai-y contributions of tlie citizens of Baltimore, 
amounting to more than twenty-five thousand dollars, (S 25,000,)j 
that part of tiieir claim was paid, and the balance of (S 15,159 09,) fif- 
teen thousand one hundre<i and fifty-nine dollars and nine cents, was 
rejected by the Secretary of War, not because tiie same was not ad- 
mitted by him to have been necessarily expended in the defence of tlie 
city of Baltimore, but because a part of it was not sustained by 
vouchers in strict accordance with the rules of the Department, as 
established under the existing laws ; and because a part consisted of 
charges which that office deemed not proper to be made against the 
United States. Your memorialists state that they did not at that time 
trouhle your honorable body upon the subject, but accepted the amount 
which the Secretary of War conceived himself authoiized to admit 
nnder the provisions of the laws as they existed, and did not subniit 
the question as to their rejected claims to the consideration of Con- 
gress. Your memorialists furtlier state, that, when they received pay- 
ment for their admitted claims, interest upon the same was refused 
upon the ground of tiie established usage that Government never paid, 
interest ; but, at a subsequent period, your honorable body thougiit fit 
to disavow this usage, and passed a law granting interest to the State 
of Virginia upon the amount advanced by her, during tiie late war, 
towards the defence of the country ; and, at the last session of Con- 
gress, this principle was again recognized in the case of your memo- 
rialists, who received, under your authority, interest upon the whole 
of their admitted claim. 

Your memorialists are now induced to apply to your honorable 
body for a consideration of their claim, as originally submitted to the 
Secretary of War, in the hope that, when tiie circumstances under 
which the debt was contracted are fully investigated, it will be found 
no more than just to pay to your memorialist a large part of tlie re- 
jected amount of S 15,159 09, if not the wlioie, together with inter- 
•^t OB such part, or the whole, as may seem fit. 



€ [Doc. No. 39-] 

Your memorialists beg leave to state to your lionorable body, tiial 
nearly S 7-000 of the rtjectcd amount is tlie (Jiffei-cnce between sea- 
men's wages, at sixteen dollars per month, and the pay of militia- 
men, at eight dollars per month. Your memorialists were compelled, 
from their peculiar situation, in the year 1813, to employ, as means of 
defence, barges and looU-out boats ; and it will be within tlie recollection 
of your honorable body, that this species of defence was sanctioned 
and approved by the Government, who subsequently estuuiished, in 
the succeeding year, a llotilla, under the command of Coiiiiuodore 
Barney, for the defence of the Ghesa[K'ake and its ti-ibutai'y waters. 
Those bai'ges and look-out boats lia\iiig been advised and recom- 
mended by the oHicers commanding at Ualtitnore, it became necessary 
to man them, and as that port was lilockaded by the enemy, and the 
seauien were constantly leaving it for the neighboring ports of Phil- 
adelphia and New York, where tiiey could get employment, your 
memorialists were obliged to pay tliem the same wages tiiey coidd 
have obtained at those |)laces, and did so accordingly. When this 
item came before tlie Secretary of ^Var, he did not leject it upon the 
grounds that the expenditure was unnecessary or not called for, but 
declared Ihsit he (ouhl not. under tlie law by wliich he must be gov- 
erned, allow them more wages than were piovided for soldiers or mili- 
tia-nuii, ar.d accordingly rejected so much of the amount as exceeded 
eight dollars per nuiiith. However projier it may have been, and un- 
doubtedly was. for the Secretary of War, acting under tlie provisions 
of laws wbi(h he was bound to obey, to reject tlie claim of your me- 
morialistSi they humbly conceive that, if your honorable body should be 
satislied of the necessi'ty of the expenditure, and that the mopey was 
not wastefully. but, on the contrary, Judiiioiisly aiiplied, they will not 
hesitate to direct its being refunded with inteiest. 

Y^onr memorialists beg leave respcctiii',i> to state to your honorable 
body, tiiat, although the' pi-oofs of tlic disbur.seuients made by the city 
of BaltiuKU'c were not such as would justify the Secretary of W ar 
in i)assing tliem as vouchers, yet tiiey were suflicient to satisfy him 
that the whole amount claimed' bad been actually expen<led in tlie de- 
fence of the city, over and above a heavy amount of voluntary contri- 
butions. And when your honoiaide hod'y consider that the citizens of 
Ealtimore made many sacrifices, (it anv Ibir.g can be called a sacrifice 
V hen the rigiits of our country are at stake ;) tliat Ihey garrisoned the 
forts in (he nei2;!iborhood with their volunteer artillery and infantry; 
thatthev ereclcd works and fortifications, and pei'formed many other 
duties as soldiers, befme Ihey were called into the public service and pay 
of the United States, and for which they never received, nor clamied, 
or exjiected conipe-isation : that these ser\ices an<l the defence which 
thev afterwards made, were greatly instrumental in the preservation 
of their own citv. and, tlicreby, ot other cities of the Union, from the 
devastation threatciied bv the' enemy along our sea-boards ; and that 
their Committee of Vigilance and Safety, through whose bands the 
monev borntu ed by your memorialists passed, were iin.^cquainted with 
the niode of keeping' accoimts as prescribed by the offices at Washing- 



[Doc. No. 39.] 7 

ton, but acted nevertheless according to the best of their ability. 
When all these circuinstances are duly considered, and w lien it is also 
recollected that some of the expeiiditui'es were made at a period of 
great peril, wiien an invading enemy was advancing from the de- 
struction of our Capital, against the home of your niemorialists, who 
were then unable to obtain tiie immediate assistance of Govenniient, 
your memorialists confidently trust they will be dealt with in tliat 
spirit of liberality which ought to characterise the representatives of 
a great People. 

Your memorialists, therefore, pray your honorable body to take 
their case into considei-ation, and to grant them such relief as may ap- 
pear just and reasonable ; and they, as in duty bound, will pray, &,c. 

THOS. PHP^NIX, 
Clerk First Branch City Council. 

R. WILSON. Jr.

i^ [Doc. No. 39.] 

Baltimore, £Srf February, 1827- 
The Hon. Petek Little : 

Sir : Your letter of tlie 21s(, current, to tlie Mayor, was referred 
to nie. as agent for tlic Corporation, this morning, with directions 
from him to answer it. 

Wlien ill Washington, 1 1th ultimo, at which time I had the pleasure 
of calling upon you, I received from tiic Third Auditor such papers 
onbi, rerHli\e to the rejected part of our claim, as were unconnected 
with other papers, parts of which had been allowed, and parts disal- 
lowed, by the Sccrctai'y of War : the consetpience is, that the docu- 
ments in hand fall short of the amoimt claimed. Under these circum- 
stances, it was thought best to refer, in the memorial, to Mr. Hagner, 
for tlie proofs, and to return the papers I received from him last 
montli. to his office. The papers, liowever, owing to my not ha^ ing 
received precise orders, are still in my hands, and I pray you. Sir, 
to instruct me on tlie subject at as early a day as you can find con- 
venient. You are aware that the balance now claimed was rejected 
on account of the want of proper vouchers, and alleged improper 
charges ; the amount was, nevertheless, expended in the service of the 
United States. 

I have the honor to be, 
With great respect, 

Your obedient servant, 

DAVID HARRIS.

The articles of tlie within account were purchased by my order to 
preserve the health of the seaman corps. The spot at the Lazaretto 
is unhealthy, and I deemed it indispensable for their health, whilst 
there, to supply them with vegetahles. The enemy were then in

General Smith's ccrtijicalc respecting the above. 

There are a number of vouchers to the amount of four hundred and 
forty nine dollais and eighty four cents, jiaid by Capt. Bunbury; 
the people were employed at the city battery of six guns, which de- 
stroyed a barge of the enemy during the last attack; in preparing 
the battery elected at the Lazaretto, and in divers employment es- 
sential to the public service. Capt. Bunbury was a very honest man, 
and I have no doubt, faithfully disbursed tlie amount charged.

This account was during the period when the enemy were in great 
force, and in our view ; when an attack was hourly expected. Capt. 
Buiibury was an upright, honest man, and acted under my orders. 
The men employed were seamen, who were indispensably necessary 
in mounting guard every night, at the distance of from one to two 
miles from the fort, to prevent a surprise, having blue-lights to notify 
the enemy's approach to the commander of the fort. The men were 
paid agreeably to the account. Seamen could not b« obtained at 
lower wages, and none but seamen would have answered. The ac- 
count ought to be allowed. S. SMITH,

There was a very large quantity of gunpowder in the city Maga- 
zine, which might have been fired by bombs, or malicious persons. 
An accident to it would have been attended with fatal consequences, 
independent of its loss at that time. I deemed it. therefore, indis- 
pensably necessary to remove it to a public Magazine, at Towson's, 
seven miles from the city. Its lemoval, the necessary repairs to 
make the Magazine secure, attendance of the keeper when it was 
delivered, and a superintendent to take charge of it at Towson's, 
were all charges that could not be avoided. The measure was pre- 
cautionary, and obviously necessary : and I trust the charges will 
be allowed, to wit : to the amount of eight hundred and twenty-four 
dollars and two cents.

was indispensable: those to the first were used at tlie battle of Bla- 
densburg — of both, at the battle of North Point. Without them, they 
•would not have been pi-eparcd for those actions. I believe it was the 
invariaiile practice to the North, to delivei' the public arms to the mili- 
tia when unprovided. If, however, any difficulty should arise, my re- 
ceipt for them, and the Governor's admission as part of the arms 
under the law for arming the Militia of the United States, might ad- 
just the difficulty.
